All Activity

Despite the very unpredictable weather, we saw a good turnout of Westfields this evening!

I'm glad you relented and came anyway!

Yes the pictures are excellent but don’t do it justice - it’s probably the best one I’ve ever seen. David is utterly meticulous and a really nice bloke. (that’s 3x pints you owe me now @DMc 😁)

I still miss my xflow prelit. Loved the sound of a xflow

Thanks David was super easy to deal with and yes I believe it to be exactly what you see in the pictures except better in reality

I’ll be doing some engine mods and differential , yes I’ll do a few track days and generally have some fun in Uk & Ireland

Happy Birthday @GaryD1971 🍺 🎂

Happy birthday old timer from all in East Anglia

Watch a soap opera? Too busy livin’ it.

He's propping up a gravestone these days from underneath

Still tipping down over here.. i think il skip tonight sorry 😞

You'll be telling me that Ena Sharples isn't on Coronation Street next...

Amos isn't in Emmerdale either these days.

Congrats! I can see you're a full member, why don't you open a thread on the Technical -> Build section with pictures and plans you have for the car? We love pictures

Martin i'm not questioning the repair or the damaged that was caused too the car my comment was made because in no part of your listing to sell your car have you mentioned that the car is a Cat D

Hi Rednop1, The CAT D was a result on me mounting a kerb about 12 years ago. Cracked a bottom wishbone (front o/s) and the V8 valance at the rear of the car. The assessor took the view they'd have to get a specialist to repair, despite me arguing that Wesfield are component cars and repairs would be simple. In the end we agreed that I could keep the car and get a payout. Repairs came to a grand total of £600 including the garage fees for fitting the wishbone and full alignment / geometry set up. Farcical! I didn't replace the V8 valance as it was the second that had been damaged due to limited ground clearance. Cheers, Martin

You have got yourself a cracking car!

Not sure! Can only go off what what passed on to me via a few messages 🤣 …but ended up with Howdens sorting him out either way 🤷🏼‍♂️

He’s got sorted via Howdens now 👍

I tried using my AA cover provided by Nationwide summer 2024 when I cracked my sump on ‘the long way north’ Westie weekend. As soon as I told them it was an accident, rather than a breakdown they lost what interest they had in recovering the car. After a long conversation they offered to recover the car, which was around 100 miles from my home for a cost of approx £850. I was told Ali and me would have to make our own way home. I wouldn’t touch the AA with my barge pole now. They were happy to leave me and Ali and the car on top of a mountain, in the wind, nothing but an ice cream van for company. All our Westie ‘friends’ having deserted us…Anyway. I rang Howdens, they sorted car and us out, despite not having any recovery plan with them. Absolutely brilliant company and 4 months later my insurance premium went up by £8.

Luckily for you it was the other end of the country to me, I'm pretty sure I'd have bought it if I'd been able to view it. Do you have any particular plans for the car? Going to track it? Road only? Euro-blats!

Hi all i purchased David’s car just for the record

European cover only if less than 10 years old

@Kingster The company that provide the breakdown cover under the Howden policy is AXA assistance, maybe worth trying them 👍🏼

So, just looked back through my records. AutoAid were the UK breakdown company I used; this is UK only cover, they then offered Euro cover through their sister company, EuroRescue. I don't know if you can purchase the EuroRescue cover on it's own, while being an A member, but might be worth looking into. https://www.eurorescue.co.uk/
